Eagles' Ja’Quinden Jackson has movement after being taken off in ambulance following injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Ja’Quinden Jackson was taken off the field in an ambulance following an injury sustained during the opening kickoff of the team's preseason game against the New England Patriots on Saturday night. The Eagles confirmed that Jackson exhibited strength and movement in all of his extremities, prompting his transfer to a hospital for additional assessment.

The incident occurred when Jackson was serving as part of the kickoff team, and it is not yet determined if he was involved directly in the play or simply affected by the collision. He lay immobile after New England's Lan Larison was tackled at the 25-yard line, leading to swift medical intervention from both teams' personnel. Players from both sides gathered near the sideline as Jackson was secured to a stretcher, and briefly raised his left arm before being transported. Following the ambulance's departure, play resumed a few minutes later.
